Signed, Sealed, Delightful!


So my presentation last Thursday went great! He liked (almost) everything, including West Elm's Envelope Silk Pillow Covers (was $29, now $19.99). Toss pillows on beds are controversial. But on his cream bedding, I think a couple of these in red will add a fun splash of color. And he agreed!

It's My Party...

And I'll serve cake on a tray with a face if I want to! Today is my birthday and I feel about as dashing as this gal looks. I am aging gracefully--or so I tell myself. And it's a lot easier to believe while serving champagne and chocolate cake off Burke Decor's Anna Tray (now $34, was $40). Happy birthday to me!

What the $****#$ Friday: Kickin' the Bucket

Secret's out!  My birthday is on Monday.  And these horrible light fixtures are reminding me that I am one year closer to kicking the bucket.  Funnily enough, that's kind of reassuring--as long as I get to kick these terrible NapaStyle Big Easy Bucket Lights (now $119, was a crazy $239).  These are so bad they are making me feel a little violent...

Presentation Day




Today I have a big presentation for a new client.  It's while digging for these clients that I find all my sale gold.  For this project, I am pitching VivaTerra's Cracked Ice Panels (was $159, now $119).  I am planning on hanging three horizontally inset in the opening of Ikea's Edland Bed.  Will my new client go for it?  Fingers crossed...

Only The Best

My motto is usually "Only On Sale." But when I saw this piece, I thought I'd splurge. I love the sleek lines of Horchow's Gold-Leaf Side Table (now $328, was $549). Having one of these near your bed or sofa would make the whole room look rich. Every now and again it's fun to break the bank. Why not do it by buying gold?

Fall Flowers

Just cause it's autumn outside doesn't mean your home can't be blooming with beautiful flowers. Toss a couple of perky pillows into the mix and you have a space sprouting color. One of my new favorite sites, Fabricadabra.com, has a ton of amazing options. I'm liking their Folk Art Organic Pillow Cover (was $65, now $46). At their affordable prices, pick your own bouquet of bright pillows!

Storage Galore!


In small spaces, extra storage is a must. And you're going to be hard-pressed to find a side table with more storage than VivaTerra's Tansu Floor Chest (now $244, was $349). Use it to hold remotes, coasters, TV guides--or socks! Multi-functional pieces like this one beg you to think outside the box, or drawer!
